FYI
Law enforcement officers across Arkansas will be participating in a high-visibility enforcement campaign this month.
The campaign, Speeding Slows You Down, will be conducted July 9 – 31, during which State Police Troopers, sheriff’s deputies and city police officers will provide high-visibility patrols and issue speeding citations to drivers breaking the law.
Communities across America are affected every year by fatalities that occur in speeding-related crashes. In 2023, there were 11,775 traffic fatalities that involved speeding, accounting for 29% of that year’s traffic fatalities.
In Arkansas for 2023, one of five traffic fatalities were speeding related.
Officials say speeding is an aggressive and deadly behavior, which reduces a driver’s ability to steer safely around another vehicle, a hazardous object, or an unexpected curve.
Safety experts also say that local roads are more dangerous than highways for speeders, adding that it's a common misconception that speeding is an interstate-related issue.
In fact, in 2023, 88% of all speeding-related traffic fatalities in the U.S. occurred on routes other than interstates.
Consequently, Arkansas law enforcement officers will be concentrating their efforts in neighborhoods, school zones or secondary roads.
The Speeding Slows You Down campaign is being conducted by the Arkansas Highway Safety Office along with Arkansas law enforcement and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
